Outside
of the main performance space two new festival strands got the daytimes
underway; Resonance FM's Ed Baxter launched The
Free University of COOS at Phoenix Brighton– a day
of talks offering a crash course in current thinking around sound,
music and noise. While around town, the Sonic-Arts Trail
featured site-specific wonders in Brighton landmarks including The
Pepperpot (opened for the first time in a decade) with Ian
Helliwell, little known folly The Tarner Tower with Alice
Kemp, and London Rd’s bustling Open Market, which
fell silent as Ryoko Akama's minimal, kinetic sound
sculptures gathered momentum.
Two exhibitions
ran throughout; ONCA hosted Unia Loimussa (Dreams inside
a Blaze) - the first ever UK exhibition
from visual artist, musician and all round Finnish DIY creative
lynchpin Jan Anderzen. In Jubilee Library, Ian
Murphy's What Was Music? featured twelve sound-collages
created by local schoolchildren using samples sent from artists
around the world.
Ash
Reid & Ali Robertson were in residence at Phoenix Brighton
over the weekend with ‘In The Future You’ll
Be Able To Get All The Expensive Designer Wallpaper That Your Heart
Desires For Free: Live from Lubberland’ - a radio
series for and from the future. Working with audience members and
COOS artists, it was recorded daily and broadcast nightly through
Resonance Extra. Visit all three Lubberland
excursions.
